Optional Missions

Borderlands 2 Side Quests

This section lists all the side quests in Borderlands 2, known as Optional Missions. To help you decide which mission to do next, they are grouped by completion time below.

You can engage in side quests at any time during your Main Quests playthrough, but please note that progression through the main story does have some effect on side missions. Apart from level progression that makes some side quests way too easy (and means you won't nab more than 1XP for each enemy you shoot), some quests may become blocked temporarily as characters or locations become unavailable as part of your quest.

For information about the quests that can become blocked and how to unblock them, see: Blocked Missions.
